Dear sir, no body is going to tax you more to provide for those refugees,
Someone is getting the bill for this, and that someone is an Indian.
There are tons of desperately poor Indians as it stands just trying to make ends meet.
Don't you follow news of how 'minorities' are converted, abducted, killed etc there?
People, notably children, are dieing of malnutrition, poverty and disease in India and need help.
The world's problem are not India's problem.
A serious question though :
How much land and money are you ready to part with to pay for these refugees ?
The housing, the food & clothing, the employment and the health care - the 4 basics.
It's a question that really needs answering before any discussion on this subject can begin.
All the dharma stuff is great until someone is presented with the bill.
Furthermore if indeed you are ready to pay, why isn't this generosity extended to a desperate Indian first?
And yes, India is natural home for everyone belonging to sanatana dharma
Not sure about this dharma stuff but I've found once the bill shows up, most of these holy men make a hasty exit.
They certainly don't want any slums showing up near their homes.
But as long as it's someone else's home, they're fine with it.
The sponsorship model makes the most sense to me.
It's a case of taking on the responsibilities and financial needs of the people being let in.
To make it someone else's problem and generate roadside slums with these folks battling Indians for subsistence level manual labor jobs is unconscionable.
